May 2012 Favourites

Is it me or does May seem a distant memory already? I think the long Jubilee weekend has something to do with it. Late,as ever, here's my May Faves...

1. Berber Oil Hair Treatment. This was inside this months Glossybox, while I thought the box was a bit of an anti-climax, this was my favourite product. The oil makes my hair shiny, more manageable and doesn't weigh it down. I really love this.

2. No7 Blush in Coral Flush, I've had this for a while but didn't use it a lot, but this month I found myself reaching for it a lot. It is a gorgeous coral with a teeny amount of shimmer in it. It lasts well, and gives a gorgeous hint if colour to my cheeks. There are further photos below.

3. The Body Shop Olive Body Butter, this was given to me by a work colleague because she didn't like it. I absolutely love it! The scent is really light and fresh and it absorbs into the skin a dream. I will definitely buy this time and time again.

4. No7 Airbrush Away Primer, this is the first primer that I have used properly. I have had primer samples before from a previous Glossybox, but this is fab! It's like superglue for your foundation. I have even been for a run and my foundation is still perfect by the end of it. (I don't make up my face for a run, to be clear!)

Here's a couple of photos of the blush:

You can see the little flecks of shimmer in it

This is quite heavily swatched, it's been a really dull day today. On the skin, you can see the really subtle shimmer.

My favourite NOTD goes to Leighton Denny Babydoll, because I really wasn't expecting to like it as much as I do!

And there you have it! My May Favourites. Have you tried any of these products?

February 2012 Favourites

I was worried that as its the 10th of the month, it's a bit late for a Monthy Favourite post. But, in my opinion, it's never too late! I love a monthly favourite posts. And love to share them with everybody.

So here we go...

1. Vitamin E Hot Cloth Cleanser. I blogged about this here. I love everything about this cleanser. I have used it every day and I honestly think it has improved my skin massively.

2. Vitamin E Night Cream. I have blogged about this here. My skin before using this night cream was really dry in places, I had flakey skin on my forehead and make up never looked right in certain lights. I don't have these problems anymore. I am going to try more products from this range, as I am so impressed. It's so affordable.

3. Benefit Sugarbomb blush. This was a birthday present from my other half. I have wore it nearly everyday since I was given it. Absolutely gorgeous.

4. Real Techniques Stipple and Blusher brushes. The stipple brush makes my foundation look more polished and flawless. The Blusher brush is like using a bunny rabbit tail to apply your blusher, it's so soft! My mum bought me these brushes, along with the Core Collection and Starter Set for my birthday. All the brushes that I have used so far are fantastic. There are a few that I haven't tried yet.

I thought I'd add a couple more photos of the Sugarbomb blush

This is a coral blush that gives my cheeks a gorgeous natural flush with a little hint of shimmer. The only downside to this blusher is the box, it will look so battered soon, and that will really grate on me!

And there you have it. My February Favourites. Better late than never, eh? ;)
